Paul Delaney, Senior Engineer at Southern California Edison, focused his presentation on energy savings achieved by low-charge ammonia refrigeration systems. Southern California Edison is one of the country's largest electric utilities, servicing nearly 14 million residents. Delaney examined the benefits of low-charge ammonia, estimating the efficiency gain is 5-10% in California for industrial and large refrigerated warehouses using ammonia. Lower installation costs, higher productivity and environmental improvements were among the other benefits.
